•    Description:   Despite all of the safety systems installed in today's vehicles, the U.S. still has between 30,000 to 40,000 motor vehicle accident deaths each year, and that trend has remained relatively constant for the past three decades. In order to address this challenge, Tesseract Structural Innovations in Fayetteville, AR, has developed a unique lightweighting technology, known as UDU. This article describes this new technology and illustrates how it has been designed to meet the need for improved passive structural safety in vehicles, while at the same time providing significant lightweighting.
